s/acpi device/ACPI device/ to match other "ACPI" usage
s/fw node/fwnode/ (if it should match "fwnode handle" above)

I guess this patch makes ACPI_COMPANION() work where it didn't before,
right? E.g., the two ACPI_COMPANION() uses added by this series
(cxl_find_next_rch() and cxl_restricted_host_probe()).

I'm not really clear on the strategy of when we should use acpi_device
vs acpi_handle, but does this mean there's code in places like
pci_root.c that should be reworked to take advantage of this? That
code evaluates _DSM and _OSC, but I think it currently uses
acpi_handle for that.
